Chapter 1623 Demon Camp
Following Hela through the gate of time and space, Rhodes came to her territory.
There are no solid walls or solid houses around, but only hollowed out rock walls, blood-stained leather tents, and demons sitting around the fire in the open space.
These demons gathered here, mainly abyssal demons, and Rhodes even saw some horned demons. In the distance, there were bursts of piercing sounds from time to time, and several abyssal demons were whipping each other with long whips for fun, and laughed happily.
And at the end of Rhodes' line of sight, a huge pillar of dark red fire went straight to the sky. Below the pillar of fire, dark yellow young creatures lined up in a row, driven by the abyssal demons, moving in one direction.
"You look a little disappointed."
Just as Rhodes was carefully looking around the camp, Hela's words reached his ears.
"I was just a little surprised." Rhodes shrugged and said, "I thought your territory would be better than here, and everything here is not worthy of you."
"Oh?" Hela smiled, looking at Rhodes with interest, "Are you trying to curry favor with me? Why didn't you do this before the statue of the king?"
Rhodes showed a helpless look: "I mean, these crude facilities are not worthy of your strength. With your strength, you should enjoy better ones. You are a high-level demon, right? Your strength has surpassed killed most of the demons."
Hela snorted softly, but didn't answer Rhode's words.
Not long after, she brought Rhodes to an empty tent, and said:
"The flame trial held by the demon king will start soon. You can wait here for a while. If you feel bored, you can also talk to the nearby demons. I think you will be satisfied with them."
"I want to go back to the previous monster melting furnace, and go there to collect the soul fragments dedicated to the king, is that okay?" Rhodes seemed to think of something, and asked proactively.
Saying that, Rhodes looked at the huge fire pillar not far from the camp. Below the fire pillar was the monster furnace where Rhode's body was born, above which were collected soul fragments that came from nowhere. Hela's camp was established not far from the monster furnace.
Hela thought for a while and replied, "You can't get close there. I still need to select creatures with enough potential from those little monsters to participate in the trial of the demon king. Don't worry about getting soul fragments, you now? Just wait here? When the trial starts, there will be enough demons? Let you get soul fragments."
Rhodes did not speak.
"Right? You should be loyal to the Gluttonous King, right?" Hela asked Rhodes as if thinking of something.
"Yes." Rhodes replied.
"I once won back a batch of special small demon statues from other Kerrigans, including those of the Gluttonous King." As he spoke, Hella stretched her hand behind her and found a thumb-sized statue from somewhere. Exquisite stone carving.
"I have already distributed the small statues of other demon kings to other subordinates, but the statue of the gluttonous king can't be divided. There are very few demons who will be loyal to the gluttonous king? They don't need this statue." Hela said at the same time. While walking, he handed over the exquisite stone carving in his hand to Rhodes.
Rhode looked at the stone sculpture in his hand with some doubts, and soon, a reminder came from the system log.

…………
Looking at the demon statue in his hand? Rhodes seemed to realize something, showing a surprised look.
The small demon statue in front of him? It can obviously be used as an altar. With this special demon statue? Ordinary demons who want to get rewards from sacrifices? can do it immediately without having to go back to the Temple of Revelation or look for other altars.
The small statue in front of him is easy to carry. Even if he doesn't have a space ring, Rhodes can take the statue with him without worrying about losing it.
Of course, for Rhodes at this time, he doesn't need this statue. Because of sacrificing the omen of doom, Rhodes has the highest-level demon contract, and he can immediately exchange for various rewards without any other certificates.
After returning from the Temple of Apocalypse, Rhodes hasn't checked the new rewards in the contract, but now, Rhodes has more important things to do.
From Hela's words, Rhodes seemed to have discovered something, and asked, "You said that few demons would serve the gluttonous king? Could it be that this king is not strong?"
Hela shook her head: "That's not the case. The ability of the gluttonous king is one of the best among all kings. Even the angry king who is in charge of strange beasts can't get any benefits in front of the gluttonous king."
"Then why aren't there many demons who pledge allegiance to him? Isn't the more powerful the king, the easier it is to get allegiance?" Rhodes asked.
"Because the gluttonous king will eat the demons that follow her." Hela explained, "The more pious the demons that follow her, the more palatable they are to her. I can still be regarded as a priest under the king of lust. Demon priests like me don't know How many more, the number is unimaginable, but under the King of Gluttony, there is only one priest, and the rest are all swallowed up by her."
Hearing what Hela said, Rhodes seemed to think of something, and his complexion changed slightly.
Once, from the Book of Silence in the Thieves Guild, Rhodes saw the name of the Gluttonous King, not Beelzebub whom Messigar guided him, but another one.
The giant Shanzel is now the King of Gluttony.
For the name Shanzel, Rhodes has some impressions, it is the name of an ancient demon, and in the depths of the snowy Bracada, the Dragon Kingdom entrenched on the highest snow mountain is called this name.
Rhodes didn't know what had happened in the past, maybe that ancient demon had been active in the surface world, or something happened, when Rhodes came to hell, all kinds of secrets that he had ignored, at this moment All appeared in his mind.
What made Rhodes even more concerned was that according to the system log, the gluttonous king who made a contract with him was not Shanzel himself, but Beelzebub who died at the hands of the hero of light countless years ago. I don't know the difference between the contract he has now and the contract he made directly with Shanzel.
